USA PATRIOT Act


Join Executive Director of the ACLU, Anthony D. Romero Tuesday, November 4th for a live online audio chat.

The chat will center on the two-year-old USA PATRIOT Act and the movement to fix that Act and other excesses of President Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Anthony will take questions about where we've come as a nation since passage of the PATRIOT Act in October of 2001 and what it will take to repeal the civil liberties violations of the Bush Administration in the name of 'war on terror.' We encourage questions about any aspect of the USA PATRIOT Act as well as other policies that have eroded our civil liberties.

The chat will take place this Tuesday, November 4th from 3:30 - 4:00 pm (ET)

Use this link to submit a question for possible inclusion among those that will be answered during the chat.
